Wood Flooring Type– Solid Wood

Solid hardwood flooring is very popular because of its traditional and luxurious appeal. It is made from one solid piece of wood which has been cut, sanded and machined into planks of flooring. One of the main benefits of solid wood flooring is that it has a long-life expectancy as it can be sanded and re-finished a number of times, which helps to revive its natural beauty and elegance.

Species – Oak

Oak is by far the most popular choice when it comes to hardwood flooring. It is a timeless and traditional flooring which can also offer a modern feel to a contemporary space. Its pale cream, golden and darker tones create a unique grain pattern where no two planks of flooring are the same. It is a relatively hard and durable flooring material and can last a lifetime if looked after properly.

Wood Grade – Prime

A prime grade is the highest grade of hardwood flooring and sometimes known as AB. It tends to be more uniform in colour and appearance and has less knots and sapwood. Once installed it will have significantly less colour variation between the planks of flooring, however it is still a natural material so colour distinctions are inevitable.

Finish – Unfinished

Unfinished hardwood flooring is the raw wood without any protective layers of lacquer or oil added. Once it has been installed, the surface of the flooring must be protected with oil or lacquer before it can be walked on. It is perfect if you are looking to create a totally unique floor by adding your own choice of colour stains and protective top coats. It is also a great choice if you would prefer to install your flooring before deciding how to finish it to ensure it complements its surroundings.

Fit – Parquet

Parquet block is smaller individual blocks of flooring with square edges that can laid in different ways to create a range of geometrical patterns.

Installation method – Direct Glue Down

By gluing your hardwood floor directly down to the subfloor you will create a full surface bond between the existing floor and your new hardwood floor. You will need to use a flexible flooring adhesive to allow for natural movements with changes in temperature and humidity. Either solid wood flooring or engineered wood flooring can be glued to the subfloor.

Acclimatisation

Your hardwood flooring will need to acclimatise to its surroundings before it can be installed. Solid wood flooring should be left for at least 7 days and engineered wood flooring should be left for at least 3 days. It should be left in the room where it is going to be installed, which should be dry (no new drying plaster or concrete), heated to between 18 to 24° C and with a relative humidity of between 45-60%.

Maintenance & Aftercare

All types of hardwood floors are easy to look after and maintain. Simply sweep on a daily basis with a soft bristle brush to remove any dirt or dust, and then clean on a weekly basis (more often if needed) using a microfibre mop and wooden floor cleaning spray. To prevent any unwanted dents or damage to your hardwood, remember to remove outdoor footwear, usefelt protector pads on the bottom of furniture, wipe away spills immediately and never drag heavy or sharp object across the floor. This will ensure that you floor keeps looking at its best for as long as possible.
